Will my 13 MacBook Pro play portal 2 like games via VM?

It's the i5 with 6 gb of ram.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Alfa


If I don't get any responses by the end of the day i'll try and post results.

I wouldn't use it via VM. Either use steam for OSX or bootcamp. What video card is in that machine?

It's possible but it'll be quite a bit slower than native.

Try Parallel. It's the only VM I know that offers decent Direct3D and OpenGL support for gaming.
